Ok so I hope this counts as 25% or less complete. My stalled build of the Eduard 1/72 Spitfire that I will now continue with. This will be my second entry into the GB and probably the one I'll be working on most until I can get etch seatbelts for my Airfix 1/48 Spit XIV. Most work in the cockpit is done, there's a few parts left before I seal up the fuselage, and the wings are assembled.

Hi all, I'm looking at converting an Eduard Spitfire HF.VIII into a Mk.VII. (It seems to be a fairly easy conversion that even I should be able to manage.) These Eduard kits come with so many bits and pieces and are such marvelous little works of art that it seems to me to be the obvious choice for conversion. Pointy wingtips - check, retractable tailwheel - check, choice of rudder - check. I assume I only need to do a couple of other things to it. 1) Add a pressure bulkhead at the rear of the cockpit - easy fix with some plastic card 2) Add the cabin pressurization intake under the starboard exhausts - I'm thinking of fiddling with one of the clipped wing tips provided in the kit to produce this item. At this stage I'm not going to worry too much about the thicker canopy bracing and modified rails. Does this seem like a workable plan to the Spitfire gurus out there? I haven't missed anything or made any obvious clangers, have I? Cheers!
